Show Notes
Back from sabbatical, Josh and Damian are back to discuss Snowden, the Oliver Stone biopic about Edward Snowden and the the leanks that occured in 2013. We question whether Stone has become a safe director or is the public more disenfranchised in 2016. We get into a lot of the issues that surround the film and the private citizen privacy.
